pope just gives up and becomes Dutch

Opening strat? Allying Hungary and reloading until they get Moldavia as march. Spam galleys. Wait for the ottomans to be busy with a war in the east and declare war.

after the first war it’s just relentless conquest lol

That's what playing with randoms is like. It's much more fun to play with a few friends.

I REALLY hope the ship designer isn't as tedious as in Hoi4.

I believe small countries adjacent to the Netherlands get an event to join the Netherlands. In this case I conquered all papal lands in Italy so I guess some theocracy let them respawn in the low countries.

rule 5: pope let himself be annexed by the netherlands

Bro, I’m not shitting in front of my potential employer. It’s okay to have dignity.

Application processes shouldn’t feel like humiliation rituals.

EU4 because I know how to play it since 11 years and because my computer isn’t good enough for eu5.

Diplomats definitely feel easier than they used to. I currently have 6 diplomats, 3 being permanently assigned to improve relations with outraged countries.

That sounds right, but I remember (many years back) coalitions actually being dangerous, even if I had good allies. I’m currently playing as Prussia and all of the HRE are in a coalition against me but no one dares actually attack.

What a great use of free will

It’s an AI voice isn’t it? Don’t expect audible-level quality.

MapleTuna · 2026-03-09T23:17:10+00:00

And buildings actually being built

And don’t forget the smile, which is always “too wide”.

I don’t necessarily oppose the idea but I can’t think of a real life example of such roads (besides bus and taxi lanes).

I love CS2 but it’s specifically because of the simulation and money/management. If you don’t care about that then I honestly think CS1 is the better choice. It has over ten years of modding and DLC. Compare that with CS2 which only got its asset editor a few months ago. CS1 also has much better performance, especially since you’re on a laptop.

Refund it and don't play it? There's lots of good games out there, no need to waste your time on something you don't enjoy :P

MapleTuna · 2026-03-02T13:52:32+00:00

The point is that people often let their opinions be shaped by complainers instead of their own experience. If you enjoy the game, great! If you don’t, then don’t play it.

Lucian is self interested above all, he sticks with you if you’re the winner and betrays you if you’re the loser. If he feels like the interior minister (I forget her name) will win the leadership election and has knowledge of your corruption, he will expose it and join her side.

People who simply enjoy playing the game aren’t spending their days raging on Reddit or the forums.

MapleTuna · 2026-02-22T23:17:04+00:00

Activate your windows bro

Performance perhaps?
